[Typo3-dev] Distributet Typo3 site, how to approach this?

Dear Martin,

thanks for your quick response and suggestion.

Looking into this direction it might also be a worth to look at MySQL
clustering, which should be available even in commercial quality
soon:

http://www.mysql.com/products/cluster/

As far as I can see with a cluster there is no dedicated master any more
from the perspective of the application (the different Typo3
installations).

However, with both approaches (simple replication or clustering), what
is not replicated are all files stored in the filesystem: images,
uploaded documents etc. So e.g. the indexed search would still be unable
to find all relevant documents. Also the complete site could not be
navigated from  a single daughter server: e.g. the images to display
and the documents to download would only be present for the daughter at
hand and missing for all others. This might possibly be solved with the
URL rewriting. But the indexed search problem remains, doesn't it?

Best regards

Georg
